Wedding Music!

My sister-in-law's sister was getting married and I was asked to make some caramel popcorn for her wedding. :)

Bubbling away!

Yum! 20 gallons of caramel popcorn!

THE day arrived with clouds and threats of rain, but all in all a beautiful day!







The bride and groom's youngest sisters were flower girls. 

<3 <3 <3



Grandparents praying for the couple

























Ben and KK were putting spoons over their eyes. :P

Katelyn

Alaina

Some of the girls did up the couple's car very nicely, but the rain washed a lot of it off! So they had to redo it. :(



Getting ready to throw bird seed at the couple





I decided this was a safe place to stand! I really didn't want bird seed on me!

The groom's hat kept most of the bird seed out of his collar. :) It was rather funny!

Cleaning up!





Playtime afterwards :)

Sweet little girl!

Alayna is so so cute!





I can't remember what we were looking at...

Emmie was showing the littles how to milk a cow. ;)

I cooked some potatoes wedges and seasoned them with Lowry's. The littles went crazy over them!

Sweetness

KK took theses moon pictures





Wow! I think it was Charles Spurgeon who wrote this.

Yes yes!

Dry!

One day the sunlight turned a very funny color and it got pretty dark outside. We found out that there were wild fires on the west coast and we were getting the smoke! :O





A beautiful morning!







Katelyn LOVES the calves! Her and Joseph were watching me do the chores. :)

It is so dusty outside! We need rain! 

Gram, Mom, Aunt Carol, and I went to Kansas City to eat an Irish breakfast and look around the Irish shops. ;)

We thought these were so cute!

Watson enjoying a nap

Daddy got a boat that he is going to clean up and sell. The Gavin girls, Sam, and Dad were cleaning it up. :P



Theses two were telling each other stories! <3

Carrots!





Making Butter



Emmie and I canned peaches :)

I helped Mom and Emmie clean our neighbor's house.

Sweet babies!

I knew I was going to need a lot of butter for making caramel popcorn so I took the cream off of the milk. :)

Lots of cream!

Unwashed butter balls

Old/off cream is for cooking only. :)











5 1/2 cups of butter
